  1. NOPE! No tofu here. But I do have gallons of ice cream and lots of dead deer polish sausage.... Some on here do not need any encouragement to generate lots of hot air..........
  2. I made my own receiver hitch for my '88 because no one else is currently making one. As long as you plan well ahead it is not hard to do.
  3. At least they are well hidden so that no one will know they are there unless you tell them...
  4. When you replace the valve cover gaskets get the gasket set for a, (are you sitting down?) 2nd gen. It will only make you a little slower. The 2nd gen gaskets are a little easier to install. There are different ideas on what to do with the TCI. The one common thing is to not leave it where it is, and replace the diodes. If you wait for one of the diodes to die of old age the TCI is now only good for a boat anchor for a very small boat. Many people put the TCI on top of the airbox. I looked at that and decided it would always be in the way. So I put mine in the left faring. Being in the faring still keeps it dry and I have no reason to go in there for any normal maintenance, so it is not in the way.
  5. And if you are going to use the adapter box, I would still get the isolator. It is just 1 more wire to hook up (power lead to the battery) and about $10 more. Then you are protected from any electrical problem on the trailer and in the future if you ever try to pull a trailer for a friend that is not LED, or decide to add a bunch more lights to your trailer, then you are still covered.
  6. LET THE SNOW BEGIN!!! We are supposed to get our biggest snow storm of the season tonight. They are predicting a whopping trace to a whole half inch by morning. Oh the humanity.........
  7. Hmmmmm On my '96 GMC P/U I am only on the third set of lo beam headlight bulbs, The Hibeams are still original. I am sneeking up on 300K miles and do a LOT of night driving and a lot of off road driving, at night. It takes about 10 minutes to change a bulb. Now brake light / turn signal bulbs seldom last a year. The threads for the screws have worn out they have been in and out so many times.
  8. Well things are not good. After a couple of days of rehab dad had a couple of seizures and is now in worse shape than before. The hospital has said that he is no longer a candidate for rehab as they do not think his condition can improve. He will be moved from the hospital to a hospice in a nursing home in the next couple of days. The nursing home will still continue to work at rehab, but the docs have said that he has just a "slight" chance for any improvement at all. If there is no sign of significant improvement all feeding tubes and IVs will be removed in 30 days per his written wishes. Of course we are hoping for that "slight" chance to come thru but are trying to prepare for the realistic probability. At this point we are praying that the good lord will either have him get better or to take him quickly so that he does not have to continue to suffer.
  9. Yup there are a bunch of threads where people got loctite on the plastic and it just goes away and is very hard to fix. You end up making the hole at least an inch bigger all around the crater that is already there and then get to rebuild a new area from scratch. Brake fluid is just as bad on the plastic parts.
  10. Water and MD? I wonder if there will be any pond monsters......?????? Or would that be stream monsters????
  11. Your in trouble now. RC Helis can be addictive.
  12. And as a bonus the JIS drivers still work in standard Phillips heads better than the US Phillips bit made for them.
  13. Yup, the flowage near where I hunt has been down for so long that there is grass, brush and small trees growing on the lakebed.
  14. I always buy the "Forever" stamps. Since they do not have a value printed on them I loose track of how much postage is. When I get more stamps I am usually doing other business so I still don't know what the stamps cost. The only checks I still write are to state and local government that have not yet heard of credit cards or internet.
  15. I got some Jack Daniels Honey in the gift set with 2 matching shot glasses, a bottle of Egg Nogg withe the booze already in it, a Xmas stocking filled with an assortment of sampler bottles, a bottle of wine in a flavor that I am allergic to (gonna hafta think on that one) a brush cutter attachment for my weed whacker to clear shooting lanes for deer hunting. Oh yea, and my honey got this round metal thing with clear shiny rocks all over it, so I guess I also got my honey............ What have I done.........
  16. The cruise picks up its speed reading from inside the speedo head. Your self canceling turn signals also get their signals for time moving and distance from the speedo head.
  17. ONLY 10 lbs.......rookie!
  18. In WI you pay a title fee when you purchase the vehicle, the title has both your name and the banks name on it. Once the loan is paid you will get a letter from the bank releasing their lien on the vehicle. You can either just keep that letter with your title or pay for another title fee to get the clear title in your name only. All that the state cares about is making your money their money.
  19. Isn't a wall to hang the rest of the "stuff" on part of the stuff that is needed to have electric in the garage??? Just wondering.
  20. Who ME????? What I did now??????
  21. Welcome aboard. But how did you manage to find a brown 1st gen in Yammers part of the country?
  22. Sorry bot that..
  23. Hmmmmmmmmm............ Sounds like a setup to me........... But that is a nice kidney shaped pool in your backyard on the street that sounds like a fireplace rock. At least thats where I'll show up. And how come you have no grass for me to set my tent up on?
  24. Merrry Christmas and we'll see you tomorrow....... ......When you are bored........
  25. I once went to McD and ordered a half dozen chicken nuggets, The gal behind the counter says "I'm sorry sir, we only sell them as 6, 9 or 12" So I asked " you mean I can not order a half dozen?" She answered "No, just 6, 9 or 12". I was working hard (not real successfully) to keep a straight face, the guy behind me was hysterical and nearly on the floor. NO ONE INCLUDING THE MANAGER GOT IT! If common sense is supposed to be COMMON sense, then why do so few people have it.
